Periodic transaction being generated outside planned period

[LucaBH]

(sorry, I deleted previous message as I was not accurate)

Hi Simon, all.

The issue I'm seeing is as per the subject.

Take the attached file and run the following command:
hledger -f budget.journal print --forecast=2024q2

I see the following output (latest hledger version here on MacOS via homebrew):
2024-04-30 Salary
    revenue:salary -1000 ; entry#1
    asset:cash:bank

2024-05-31 Salary
    revenue:salary -1000 ; entry#1
    asset:cash:bank

2024-06-30 Salary
    revenue:salary -1000 ; entry#1
    asset:cash:bank

2024-06-30 Salary
    revenue:salary -2000 ; entry#2
    asset:cash:bank

The highlighted entry shouldn't be generated, as per my understanding, is it right?

Thank you. Bye
Luca

Hi Luca,

It looks wrong indeed. Thanks! I have opened https://github.com/simonmichael/hledger/issues/2218

You are specifying a transaction that happens on every 31st day of the month, with the start date of 2024-07 (which is the same as 2024-07-01).

As 1st of July is not the 31st day of the month, the start date is adjusted to the earlier date such that your start date (2024-07-01) will be included in the first interval of your period.

That adjusted date is 2024-06-30 -- which is inside 2024q2 (your reporting interval). 

If you change the definition to read "every 31st day from 2024-07-31", I think it would work like you want it to.

Best regards, Dmytro

This is now fixed in master I believe - thanks for the report.

Thank you Michael.

Now as I remember, some time ago a posted a message here about a similar problem, after which you opened an issue on gh. I found out it: https://github.com/simonmichael/hledger/issues/1986

Maybe this fix solves that former issue too?

Bye

Luca

Yes it does. Thanks!
